Learning, Thinking, Education

It's extremely valuable to understand how we come to learn things, how this
learning is passed on, and what dynamics impact the effectiveness of this.
The formal fields of Epistemology (the theory of knowledge), Psychology (the
study of mental processes and behaviors), and Education (the formal and
informal mechanisms related learning) explore these issues. Additionally, a
fair amount of research has been conducted in the context of business schools
related to organizational learning and leadership which may be found in my
enterprises pages.

My understanding of how we learn and grow is still very much in development.
I have just recently started to investigate this with any rigor. So far, I have
found ideas expressed by
Parker Palmer to be very close to my unexamined model of learning and
teaching. I have also found
Donald Schon to be particularly interesting and insightful, as well as
Michael's Polanyi's
writings about tacit knowledge.
